A Reiki Master is a person who has been attuned to Reiki Levels (1 to 3) and is a Reiki Healer. A Reiki Master usually is a Reiki healer who goes further for attunement as a Reiki Master. Reiki Masters are attuned by Reiki Grand Masters. Once attuned as a Reiki Master, he/she practices Reiki healing, distant Reiki and can attune a person to the First and Second degrees of Reiki. Reiki Masters can also attune a student to the Third level of Reiki.

Abilities of a Reiki Master

A Reiki Master is typically sound in the theoretical as well as practical knowledge of Reiki, so that he/she can guide students without any problem. Reiki Masters are also required to pass on the information about what is Reiki and how it should be used, along with information about history, lineage, ethics, etc to the students. Reiki Masters are able to perform Distant Reiki on patients that are remotely located, they can perform Psychic Surgery, Purify and Charge Chakras, Purify Auras and perform other advanced Reiki Healing practices and can provide Spiritual Guidance to their students as well as patients.

Qualities of a Reiki Master

A Reiki Master needs to practice Reiki regularly so that he/she can take the responsibility of opening another person's channel. A Reiki Master is generally regular in self healing, and regularly heals other people as well. He/She maintains a calm composure while with his students.

Reiki Attunements

Reiki Mastership is usually offered by a Reiki Grand Master (Senior and Attuned Reiki Teacher / Masters) in many lineages, and not asked for. However, this may vary from Teacher to Teacher. Typically, it is best if the person obtains his mastership degree about 1-3 years after being a Reiki Master Healer. The process of getting attuned to mastership is not a one-day task, and has to be learnt from a Reiki Grand Master. Many teachers require their students to spend several days with them and assist them in teaching the first and second degrees of Reiki, so that they are adept in handling the attunements.
